Twitter suspends another. Why?

I don't know anything about this case or film.

"The documentary follows the stories of five former child actors who were sexually abused by multiple predators. Much of the film focuses on Marc Collins-Rector, subsequently convicted of child sexual abuse, who co-owned and operated Digital Entertainment Network, with Brock Pierce also owning a minor share. DEN produced brief online videos during the early days of the Internet, and was noted for wild parties featuring underaged boys at Collins-Rector's house.[5]
The film makes multiple references to director Bryan Singer, who was allegedly at some of the DEN parties,[5] but does not detail allegations against him. A lawsuit alleging that Singer sexually abused Michael Egan as an underage boy was withdrawn during the production of the film. As a result, the film only details allegations made by persons willing to appear on camera.[2]
Among the persons interviewed is Vanity Fair journalist John Connolly, who states that an article on pedophilia in Hollywood was dropped at the last minute by Details magazine."

I don't know anything about the guy or the film either, but I do note that no connection between his film and his Twitter ban is mentioned. I don't like Twitter bans, but this looks like a misguided attempt to present Twitter as somehow protecting child sex crimes.

@klaus said in Twitter suspends another. Why?:
Twitter as somehow protecting child sex crimes.
I posted a story about a week ago about Twitter not suspending someone who posted, er, suggestive videos of a teenager. When the parents contacted Twitter, they were told that this was "not a violation of their policies." They're suing.
You're right, this might be it.
